styluses are back in style

Did you think styluses were a thing of the past? Well when Apple submits for two patents the fact is that styluses are very much alive.

But as with anything Apple does, this isn't just any stylus. No. The to-be-developed implement can not only help you navigate your device of choice, but it will also provide designers the opportunity to capture textures. TEXTURES!

We can only imagine how excited designers must be...but we'll have to temper the joy a bit as Apple has only just filed patents which means we now play a waiting game.
